I am certain the Texans season-ticket-holding boat upon which I crewed as man servant last Saturday would be in the slip on Sunday, two-day regatta or not.

Do we have a crew finder forum for man servants? That I need to look at.

This is an unscientific poll to answer a question I am curious about.

Okay - I have changed the file format to *hmt from whatever goofy format I had it in. I feel I have just been schooled in file formats!!!! Thanks All!

You can find the rum race series summary in *pdf format at the link below:

Attached is the summary for the 2010 rum race series.

Rum race winners will be awarded during the 2011 Commodore's ball on January 29th.

FYI - There were a total of 59 boats that placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th at least one time during the series.

aka......THE BANK REGATTA........

Frank,

From the NOR:

For each race in the Regatta, each boat competing shall be helmed by a female from the warning signal for her class until she has finished.�

So basically, yes guys can crew just not drive....

Mixed Double Results: http://www.regattanetwork.com/clubs/gbca.html

When you go to register for the single regatta (which I know you are going to do RIGHT NOW).

There is an option at the top of the registration form to register for the single regatta and/or the single/mixed double regattas ( I know this is the option you will be picking)

Scott and anyone else who signs up for both single/mixed double regatta,

Regatta network is going to set up a tool that I will copy your information over to the mixed double registration form. But for now until I have that tool I have made note that you have signed up for both regattas. I should be able to update the registration list very soon.

Thanks!

I have had an inquiry about how tie breakers are broken in the scoring. In RRS Appendix A8.1, it explains how this is done. In regular person language the boat who has the "best finishes" will brake the tie. For example if  boat "A" had (3) 3rds and (1) 5th for an equal of 10 points and boat "B" had (2) 2nds and (1) 4th for a total of 10 points, Boat B would have the tie breaker because of its two second places.

Also in Appendix A8.2 if the above does not break the tie, i.e. Boat "A" had (2) 1st and (1) fifth and Boat "B" also has (2) 1st and (1) fifth, the boat who got the first in the last race scored would win the tie breaker.

Remember the point system for rum races is 1st place = 5 points, 2nd place = 4 points, 3rd place = 3 points, 4th place = 2 points, and 5th place = 1st place.

Setting the spinnaker sideways can be very exciting also!

Scored through 8/28.

I am working on the NOR today and I hope to have it up in the next couple of days. I don't want to answer alot of questions on the forum, but rather have the official notice of race answer the questions.

Thanks for the interest! Leigh Ann
